Previous simulations of aqueous solutions of immobilized pairs of simple hydrophilic or hydrophobic model solutes have been extended to consider a mixed hydrophobic-hydrophilic pair. Results show that the replacement of a hydrophilic group with a hydrophobic group can induce relevant changes in the

## Abstract ## Objective Recently, we found that human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) express melanocortin 1 receptors (MC‐1R) that bind α‐melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α‐MSH). In search of novel therapies for scleroderma (systemic sclerosis [SSc]), we used the bleomycin (BLM) model to investigate th
